I must be mad, I said when I moved that I was not going to allow myself to become so busy that I do not enjoy life........well that lasted 3 weeks!!

1) I am working full time (be it with less children but still full time)
2) I am going through my accreditation process
3) I am starting a degree in Childhood and Youth Studies in October
4) After being in talks with others, I have been asked to spear head a messy group fun session for the local kiddies which I have agreed to if I can fit it in (I currently work strange hours which would allow me to do this)
5) I have another enquiry!

However, Im actually feeling more relaxed now that I did when I was looking after 10 children day in day out whilst my husband was deployed and home (6 mindees and 4 of my own).

Must be mellowing in old age LOL x

Similar thing here. I'd planned to get a year's experience under my belt before I did much else.

Then I found out that everything was changing for 'new improved EYFS'.

Then I found I'd have to do the diploma this year, or fund it myself if I delayed.

I only wish I could be calm and relaxed about it like you. I think I lost my "happy".:panic:
